Got out for a hunt with my buddy FatTony315 today. We stopped at an old (early 1800s) house and were granted permission to detect although the home owner said that it has been detected before. We took that as a challenge and dove right in. My first find was an indian head although I couldn't read the date until I got home and cleaned it up a bit. It turned out to be an 1867 (a semi key date).
I continued around the front of the house and got a nice midrange signal on my VX3. Pulled this interesting thimble up from about 3 inches deep.
Not too far from the thimble I got a nice high 80's VDI hit on the VX3 pinpointing at about 6 inches. I dug down to that depth and still nothing.... but the signal was definitely still in the hole.... so I dug down another couple of inches... still nothing...a couple more inches and the pinpointer was saying I was right on top of it. Popped a nice batwing buckle out from at least 10 inches deep. Here's a picture of it in the hole followed by a pic of my digger in the hole almost buried up to the hilt.
This one was a medium sized buckle. I found one on Monday that was slightly larger. Here's two pics of the one I found today followed by a picture of the two together.
The owner was right. This place has definitely been hunted before.... but thankfully they left a few things for Tony and I to find.
Thanks for looking. Happy hunting.
